The Astrologer's Four-Eyed Gambit

Zofia Nowak lives a life of quiet desperation, slinging coffee and dodging her landlord. Her biggest problem is a leaky faucet until a cryptic invitation shatters her mundane world, revealing a secret society of supernatural clans called the Svarognir who have revered her previous incarnation, the legendary Astrologer, for centuries. According to the Astrologer’s final prophecy - a prophecy Zofia herself wrote in a past life - she must enter the Umbral Gauntlet, a lethal tournament of wits and magic, to avert a magical apocalypse. Her only path to survival is to forge a soul-bond with one of the four designated consorts her past self meticulously selected for her. The problem? They're all variations of the same archetype: gentle, intelligent, and bespectacled scholars, each with a hidden agenda and a maddeningly polite demeanor. Thrust into a deadly game she unknowingly orchestrated, Zofia must unravel her past self's intentions and navigate the affections of four perfect men. Can she win the tournament and choose a partner, or will her own ancient gambit be the death of her?
